Europopnewsletter March 2010

This month was international women's day (8 march). A good reason to publish a feature article we received from Turkish pop journalist Naim Dilmener. Under the title 'My name is woman, i have no power' he gives us an insight how women have been portraid in Turkish pop since the sixties. What we learned the emancipation of women's perspective in Turkish lyrics has been with ups and especially downs. Just as an example, but when the world was going "zigazigaah" on Girl Power, Turkish themes took the other way round. An interesting article. We hope that we can bring you more background articles from European popjournalists in the future.

But we also continue on our closer look to the producers behind European popmusic. This month we added Eddie Barclay to the section 'The Producers'. Although in the fifties he made some great bigband stuff with Quincy Jones he made name for himself as the big talenthunter for French pop. He also became known for his many wifes and festive lifestyle but that's beside the point.

And further we have a feature on Jacques Higelin, the album ¿Quién? by Mari Trini is album of the month, and we have reviews on albums by Luke, Silly, Buzy and Quetin Mossiman.
